Chapter 109 Expanding Business and Preparing a Team

Time flies when you start working. Lin Nan leads the team and is busy promoting the movie. The first batch of posters has come out.

On the gray sea, a cruise ship is sailing lonely.

Zeng Li's half-length photo with makeup and the cruise ship share the poster screen, revealing a depressing atmosphere.

"Is this my own promotional poster?" Zeng Li was a little surprised.

"This is yours alone. The heroine has preferential treatment, and the main line must be clear." Lin Nan explained.

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Yes, very satisfied, hehe." Zeng Li agreed.

The name of "Time and Space Cruise" has already appeared in the theater's film list.

Many people saw the new movie poster when they entered and exited the theater.

"It looks good. I heard that it is science fiction with horror tones. I haven't seen this combination before. I must try it this time..."

The combination of science fiction and horror tones is very novel in China. If it is shot by an ordinary director, it may be regarded as a gimmick.

But Lin Nan already has several movies under his belt, and he is a new big director in recent years, which makes ordinary audiences very convinced and attracts a lot of attention.

The news that Zhang Yimou's new movie is adapted from "Thunderstorm" has spread completely.

The film master adapted the work of another master, and his daughter also approved the script. This is a very perfect project.

Netizens are full of expectations for this, unlike the booing of "Night Banquet" at the beginning. With 5,000 years of cultural heritage, they just want to shoot a foreign "Hamlet".

China Film Group is very concerned about the "Journey to the Center of the Earth" in which it participated. I don't know how it was operated with Shanghai Film Group. It really put this movie in June, the summer season, which is a good time period.

There are so many imported films, and this is the only one that can be specially taken care of.

"The voice of opposition is not small, but fortunately we have investment in this play, and this is the only one that has a good schedule, so everyone finally accepted it."

Han Sanping said to Lin Nan. This investment is accompanied by political achievements, and he will not be perfunctory.

The film academy has to take care of its students. Although the main actors of Lin Nan's film are from the next door, the director is a family member.

The academy's publicity column has more publicity for "Time and Space Cruise", and many graduated directors often come back to promote movies.

Lin Nan ran into Huang Lei, "Did you win the lottery? I saw a smile on his face from a distance, and it never stopped."

"It's just like winning the lottery. I have a daughter." When he spoke, he was warm as a cotton-padded jacket.

"Congratulations to you." Lin Nan said.

"Congratulations. Come and have a drink when the time comes."

"Okay, if I can spare the time, it's all about movies recently."

The company employee told Lin Nan that the agency had pushed several properties over and needed him to go back and take a look.

"These buildings were all newly built in the past two years. They are not far from Beijing Film Academy and China Academy of Drama. They are not popular commercial areas, but for a film and television company like us, they are just right..."

Lin Nan listened to the introduction of the visitor here, and also flipped through the information himself. It was okay. The construction units were all central enterprises.

Because of the geographical location, there are many cultural and film and television companies here.

It is impossible to decide at once. Lin Nan had asked people to find more agencies before, and then compare them later.

…

Director Chen did not give up. After failing at the Oscars, he went to Berlin again. It was in the competition unit, so what? It still didn't win anything. This movie really cannot be saved.

Zhang Yimou's new actress has been selected, from the Central Academy of Drama...

This made public opinion come to the Film Academy. If you say that he chose someone with experience, it's fine, but Zhang Yimou used a newcomer from the 2005 class, a junior college student in the acting department who had never filmed a play.

"It's an unprovoked disaster."

Lin Nan, who was running around the Magic City with the crew, was affected by the disaster.

"Haha, Director Lin, don't say that. Look, the media put you and Director Yimou together, saying that your casting vision is getting closer and closer. You are both great directors..."

Tian Yu smiled and comforted Lin Nan, not caring about Yan Danchen's rolling eyes. Zhu Yawen was a junior and had no right to express his opinion.

Lin Nan was too lazy to pay attention. Curse of the Golden Flower occupied the headlines of the media, overwhelming the news of all other movies.

Liu Ye and Zhou Jie took turns to play the love rivals, Zhou Runfa and Gong Li were the main actors, and the casting was basically finalized, just waiting for the spring to start shooting.

The school didn't know if it was stimulated, and told Lin Nan that he could prepare a speech more than three months in advance for the graduation ceremony.

"Where are the outstanding graduates, Director Lin." Yan Danchen laughed and teased.

"Haha, it's really troublesome." Lin Nan said proudly.

I really don't know if Shanghai Film put Shanghai Theatre Academy in the publicity process to deliberately find fault.

The crew was all from Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama, and the only one Gao Yuanyuan was from another school.

When the group walked into Shanghai Theatre Academy, they felt that everything was wrong, and there was a sense of provocation.

Lin Nan invited Hu Ge, who had just finished the publicity, to come to support him, and then he felt less awkward.

During the interactive question-and-answer session, a boy from the 2003 class of Shanghai Theatre Academy asked a question.

"Why has Director Lin Nan never used actors from Shanghai Theatre Academy in his films?"

Good boy, this sharp question was asked and received cheers from all the students.

The media had reported this before, and that was after the cast of "Time and Space Cruise" was announced.

The crew members and Hu Ge all stared at Lin Nan as if they were watching something interesting, but fortunately they had made preparations before.

"That's not the right question. Stone is my script, I invested in it, and one of the actors is Xu Zheng from Shanghai Theatre Academy."

This answer did not satisfy everyone, "I mean the movie directed by Director Lin."

"Well, you should know that I haven't graduated yet. I have to balance my studies and filming. I definitely don't have much energy to cast, so I look for actors around me, and my classmates and teachers recommend them. It's definitely convenient to be close to them.

But don't worry, I will graduate in a while, and the company will start to involve businesses other than movies, and there will be more opportunities to cooperate with students from Shanghai Theatre Academy..."

Lin Nan almost got away with it, and the media also learned for the first time that he was going to expand his business.

"Business other than movies? There's no need to guess. The first choice is definitely TV series."

Many companies that focus on TV series instantly had ideas about Lin Nan. Maybe you have some foundation in movies, but you are a complete newcomer when it comes to TV series.

So can we cooperate and get what we need?

Lin Nan didn't expect that a few words would cause him a lot of trouble.

Acting classmates he knew were asking, several film and television companies were asking, and even the school was asking about it.

"Yes, I definitely can't just walk on one leg. Film and television companies must have TV dramas..."

Unlike movies with more than 100 minutes of content, how many actors can show their faces no matter how many of them there are?

TV dramas are different. There are always more people watching TV than watching movies.

A few dozen episodes of dramas can provide many actors with opportunities to show their faces and provide many newcomers with roles to enter the industry.

Every year, there are too many examples of actors who graduate from professional colleges and universities being reduced to being extras or even changing careers.

If Lin Nan's company enters the field of TV dramas, it will have its own halo, because he is a famous movie director, and the public generally accepts the view that movies are higher than TV dramas.

"The big director intends to enter the field of TV dramas, and I look forward to his company's first work."

"Director Lin revealed his career plan at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and he will no longer focus only on movies..."

Liu Yifei also told Lin Nan specifically, "If you really want to make a TV drama, I can tell my mother and let her agree that I can act in TV dramas again."

This is so touching, it's like: I will support you!

Lin Nan knew that since Liu Yifei told the media that she would not film TV series anymore, her TV series pay had doubled, and many producers even asked Liu Xiaoli to quote.

After the Lunar New Year, February went by a little too fast.

Xijie was already preparing for "New World", and this script made several companies there regret that they were late.

The exact broadcast time of "The Condor Heroes" was announced. In March, it will compete head-on with another martial arts TV series "Seven Swords". Both dramas were postponed to March for various reasons.

The first wave of promotion for "Time and Space Cruise" ended, and the last stop was back in the capital. The crew met Xia Yu and Yuan Quan who also came to promote "Shanghai Rumba" at CCTV.

Zeng Li and Chen Minghao finally met their relatives. The two crews chatted for a long time backstage. Fortunately, "A Romantic Affair" had not been filmed yet.

Graduation was getting closer and closer, and Lin Nan could feel the atmosphere of the school.

Since he said two weeks ago that he wanted to expand his business, more people have brought him messages. Since he is going to shoot a TV series, should he start an artist management business?

Walking on the campus, he is greeted once a minute, and he occasionally meets a junior every 50 meters.

Lin Nan visited all the departments, starting from the Directing Department, to the Literature Department, the Photography Department, the Academy of Fine Arts, the Animation School, and finally paid a special visit to the Management School.

Since he is ready to become bigger and stronger, it is very necessary to say hello to these professional teachers behind the scenes in advance.

Lin Nan's face in school is still very useful. He is a business card of the school. If he can solve the employment problem, his alma mater will definitely support him.

After receiving the promise of promotion and recommendation from many teachers, Lin Nan returned to the Directing Department with peace of mind.

"You are really good. If you don't know me, you would think you came to the school for a recruitment meeting. You went to all the behind-the-scenes majors one by one, but you didn't go to the acting department..."

"I really went there for the recruitment meeting.

Among several schools, our film academy's behind-the-scenes production and management majors have always been the best. I plan to get a group of people for my company."

Lin Nan admitted with a smile.

"You have this idea, the school must support it. What about the acting department?"

"It's a bit spiritual. I signed it a long time ago. I'll take a look at the artist. Even if I sign it, I won't want many.

You know, the production business and the artist management business are naturally in conflict. I care more about the former.

Besides, our school is really not the best in terms of actors. I have to pick them carefully."

"Haha, it's good that you have an idea. Be careful that Lao Zhou and others will cause trouble for you."

"Even if the director of the acting department asks me, I will definitely answer like this."

Lin Nan said with a smile, not noticing that the leader of the acting department has been standing at the door for a while.
